- Condition: Long COVID
It definitely helped get rid of congestion and my sinus infections aren’t as bad, though they still come back ... my gf’s musky perfume made my lungs burn when I was recovering.

I long boarded as soon as I felt healthy enough, which was about two weeks after I recovered.

Summary
Bramble 66942 was left with burning lungs, congestion and repeated sinus infections. A doctor recommended Flonase and a Neti pot, which cleared the congestion and made the sinus infections less frequent, though they still return. About two weeks after recovering, as soon as they felt healthy enough, they returned to activity, coughed up mucus and felt much better. Perfume made their lungs burn during recovery.

- Flonase · Helped
I used Flonase and a Neti Pot for my congestion after a doctors recommendation. It definitely helped get rid of congestion
In context ↗ - Neti Pot · Helped
I use it a few hours before bed, I think it helps a lot. I don’t wake up with congestion, I get better sleep
In context ↗ - humidifier · Not said
I recommend a humidifier in your place too if you live in a dry area.
In context ↗ - hot shower · Helped
I’d try a humidifier for the house and taking a hot shower for your lungs burning along with naproxen as an anti inflammatory. Those two helped
In context ↗ - naproxen · Helped
naproxen as an anti inflammatory. Those two helped, but I couldn’t figure out how to totally relieve my burning lungs.

How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, in the order they describe; they don’t give enough times to place each step. Hover or tap a point. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
